know your worth

Never give advice where it’s not sought, Don’t pour your care till you’re left with naught. Guard your respect, let it stand tall, Love should not cost you your worth or fall. Don’t expect hearts that choose not to see, To love you back with the same degree. Care cannot bloom where concern is thin, One-sided love is a quiet sin. Those who leave at the first misread, Never loved you, they loved the need. When what you offered fades or ends, They walk away, no words to mend. With selfish hopes and jealous eyes, Even close bonds they compromise. So choose yourself, let truth remain: You were never the loss their hearts were the chain.
